We compleeted clearing the area and have began setting locations as to where districts are comming. As for our factional advancements...

We have had some delay futher down the construction. School started for me and I had to get focused on that. I have been working on some renovations of my HQ basement. A.K.A my palace basement. I compleeted the farms and the animal penns.

Working now on the portal room. Probably finished by tomorrow. Also expanding our recruitment system. Trying to get more members to claim the area we need covered. Got an island from a friend that I could use to start putting people to work at. Still need to setup a portal for mining for those guys:P. But the towncenter is compleeted.

Hoping to get the palace in Daendroc done soon so we can focus all build force on the capital.
Also...

I do like to say it again since people wish me to hurry with construction so they can attack me...
The build is set to be finished by the end of winter. But I canot be surtant of that however:D

I was just about to ask 'what going on' with the empire.
 
Just finished designing another house design.
2013-09-26_08.42.57.png
It will be used for either a higher laying district, or a vally district close to the grant tree district.
I will add some fundations so it can be implanted into hilly terrain and also surport stuff like small briges and archways.

Also It fills me with great sadness that our beloved settlement in Kelmoria is forced to relocate. For reasons unknown the area is being evacuated. And so we must go aswel. Have a last visit to one of these wonderfull places, For they wont be there much longer.

Do you need any help building? I would love to help rebuild the elven empire. Or will you keep building to yourself and some of your friends?
 
Wel I am training people in the skill of building and incorperate a design so they can adapt it and change it to fit with the terrain. I will then do some outlining as to where structures must come with the apropriate adaptions. (which can be seen from the lining technique i use.) Tobad my builder school is closing down aswel since I had it in Kelmoria:(. But well. It takes a good builder to turn a simple build into something more complicated. Here is an example af of wat that means:
Simple: 2013-09-26_11.25.18.png Advanced: 2013-09-26_11.26.25.png
To adapt a design that way you must have a high skill at being able to understand a design, aswel as using your imagination to shape it and keep it Original wel staying true to its design.

Most people will simply be building up along examples, but I am realy looking to train people up to that level so they can give some input of their own. My vision is developing as I go. Otherwise I may find the project too big and loose focus :P

But yea, for a more simply awnser, I am mostly using people from my own faction to help buid. But surport can be given many ways. Like helping collect resources and donating usefull stuff to the project. Perhaps even create a design of your own and see if it is good enought to be implanted into the city. The place is big, Realy big. So just use your imagination, and the information I gave you ;) And create!

The Ship looks nice, but keep working on the buildings in creative. Get some good builders to have a look at your ideas and give tips.
 
I think I'll design a building or 2, I'll give you the designs (pics of the building) when I'm done.
 
I'll whip up some designs aswell. I may be an orc, but I'm a buildin' orc.
 
Reading though this really has inspire me...I love building things ^^ may make up a few ideas~ though, eitht hat in mind:

Is their any spefic buildings you need a design for at this moment? That usually helps me when I start building/sketchy design
 
Wel we are in need of a disign for the Sky district. So try to use light colors. Birch and clay both make stuff bright. Just don't add quartz into the design. We are not certaint on how much quartz we can obtain in the new comming world, and most if it will probably go to specific structures.

five structures of interest I like to bring up are these:
- The white palace.
- The grant observer.
- The Eldar tree.
- The great bank. (ofcource we all know who's gona own that:P)
- The acadamy

Also I like to say something about some features of the city. Just letting my imagination rule the evening:D.

- Districts, Each having its own design in housing. medium-large size.
- Great sites, Special structures worth sightseeying.
- Multi harbor, A merchant harbor, travel harbor, and militairy harbor.
- Waterways, Whole systems of water transportation troughout the city. Great for maiar!
- night/day light system, turns off at Dawn and on at Dusk. (unless it gets too lagy :D )
- Elven undercity, (This will be a nice place unlike the poor district now in Regalia:P )
- Enderpearl proof walls, You wonder how? Wel so do we. We do have a concept ready.
- Large tavern, Lets try and make the Golden Willow look small shall we?:D (not sure if I spelled that right)
 
Very interesting ^^ I'll get some sketching going on then~ I really do wish to see this finished~

You'll hear back from me soon hopefully once I get sketches and something build and screen shot ~
 
Wow. Henrich is totally for this project. Being able to frolic around in this Elven wonderland would be AMAZING. You sir, have a huge future ahead of you. The admins really do need to get in on this project. The place where you're setting this up looks awesome :) If you get this done, Henrich is totally moving factions!
 
Here is a design for a house on the outskirts of the city.

Not to be a bummer to this party but there are a couple problems with these ideas, and your ideals....

1. A construction project on this scale will take up a VAST amount of resources and time. You may have to go to war with other settlements over resources, deforestation and overmining could become a problem. Second the time that it would take for you to finish that valley and complete your capital will take you months upon months.

2. Regalia will not just give up its seat as the global superpower. If you complete your military and capital Im sure you'll have a few problems with the Regalian/Human military (as you are elves). If you haven't noticed its not exactly equality central in aloria.

3. The orcs will most likely mobilize there armies far before the humans do. Even if they think they could beat you to a pulp, I am for sure they wont risk you getting to full power, the losses could be great and they wouldn't risk a defeat.

first: this is not lore compatible already so regalia will do nothing,
second: the orcs have agreed to a treaty until it is built
third: we are allying with regalia not fighting them like the naga did,
fourth: how did regalia not cause massive wars over resources over mining and deforestation? oh they traded, like we are.
 
Here is a design for a house on the outskirts of the city.
Awsome surgestion Shadow king! Especialy your work on the interior design. It will require a few tweeks but I surely can work with it;). It resembles much of the 'middle Elven' architecture since they lived in wooden houses.


1. We expected it wouldn't be finished untill the end of winter.;) Don't worry, we do have a sence of time.

2. It will not be us to start a war. Infact, we may even permit Regalia to have a embasy within our city.

3. The orcs will always be a trouble, after my attempts to make peace, they clearly stated that they could not allow a new empire of Elven to rise again. Thus war cannot be avoided. Although we let them take the first move.;)


I am not going to say too much at this moment about it being on one line with the lore. But il have an anwser soon.

I can send you the map if you prefer.

Please do! That would be amazing.:) I only wished this server had a creative universe. ;(

(also a note on the resources required to do this) Yep thats allot. The deforrestation we will make ourselves guilty to is only on the construction grounds. (which we already did) The remaining resources of lumber will be aquired trough tree farms. We have dwarven allies who are digging out a large underground kingdome. I believe we might be able to trade with them for the stone we need. The clay we gather from the marches of Daendroc. Which is on that part sad since that will ruin the marchy landscape :(. And the quartz will be collected from the future nether world.

I made several surgestion in previous topics on creating a resource world. Where people can go to collect vast amounts of resources without ruining the other worlds. However I think it has been overlooked.|-(

My point of view - Keep looking for better designs. The ones shown so far are alright, but not great - They need to be looking harder, trying harder - It is a empire after all yes?
If this is suppose to be a Elven city then there needs to be tall buildings, unique buildings, sensible but fantasy-like buildings.
Not small cottage like building with 1 floor.

You may expect most of the structures within the city to be tall and having atleast 2-3 floors or more!

The imperial district is the one that I am currently worried about. I did alot of work to make those walls highly detailed with detail around the window and door sections. But whether they look Elven enough... Wel I gues that depends...
 
Since you mentioned a waterway, here's my design.

The Shadow King
Wel I think you for you Beautiful designs.
The waterways however will deeper in the under city. So that we can build maiar houses inside the walls.
On the higher area's the waterways will be shallow untill they flow into the deeper parts.
(Expect waterfalls :))

As for the lamp design, we already had that design :D. Look several posts back and you may find it where I posted some designs of the imperial district. (although I am still working on proper roads).

Well, oops.
 
Dinner at my place!:P
2013-10-01_23.34.07.png

I finished the final chamber of my palace. I don't want to say the palace is compleet yet because I still have to build a small wall around the palace and add gardens... But its as good as finished for now.:)

This means also that I can spend more time designing and building on the capital. With the main projects prior to the capital compleet, there is no other objective standing in the way.:)
 
Ok I need a 2e opinion on this:$.
I have been working on a banner for my family. How does this look?
2013-10-03_21.48.01.png
And incase you like it, would you liketo help me make a smaller version of it? :D I am terrible with banners.
 
Alright people I have some bad news ;(. This may involve all who are part of this amazing project. Il start with the small news that is less important.

I currently got delayed due to the server where I go to for designing stuff (since this server doesn't have a creative world) Is currently 1.6.2 Having to travel back and forth between is anoying now and I am not going to do that. So instead il be doing small side projects for now.

One of em currently is helping an ally setup a darkroom so I can get some stone to fillup the area around my palace.
And so the second project is the palace garden's/wall's. We are raising the terrain around the palace to fit with the height of its entrances. Around the palace will be a wall with in between a garden layer and infront another garden area.:)
Another project will be a large in for roleplay purposes. Like in Kelmoria I hope to rebuild a nice elven outpost where people can go for roleplay. If you know of any area suited for this please post your Idea. The only recuirements are that is must be easily reachable from a spawn area. So people can get there fast with little trouble along the way. Its for roleplay and some commersial purposes.:)

Now to the big sad news...

Our empire, as we currently have envisioned it, is not lore compatible. The staff made that clear trough a post on another topic and trough a private conversation. We are currently working out how to make the project lore compatible so we can still go to this magnificant city in the future for good roleplay. (which was the main reason I wanted to build the city anyways) Note that I cannot confirm anything untill I get confirmations from the lore staff first. How it currently is looking it will be getting closer to an Elven kingdom. Again nothing is certain yet.

The results however will be sifnificant regarding those that wanted to join the empire and those allying it. The most likely thing to happen should it become a kingdom for the time being, is that all who where allies and all who wanted to be part of the empire itself will become allies only. Close friends and allies would be better terms I think.

So for now the city will be build, (when I got the designs ready ofcource) and wel make it as mindblowing as we possible can. When it is ready, then wel see how we move on.

Ps: Incase anyone was going to, dont complain just yet. Let me first get confirmation,
 
Noooo.... Max... don't leave Daendroc now.

Yes the land is slowly being consumed by the same evil that took old Ceardia but that is exactly the point. if you run from this land you are only delaying the inevitable.

if Daendroc is consumed, the curse will move on to consume your new home too. Unless you stand and fight you will continually be on the run, constantly frustrated when cobblestone pylons and griefed houses cover your new land... and cause your NEW home to be 'cleansed' from the server. All factions must learn from our example. A set percentage of our efforts are channeled into seeking out and repairing areas damaged by younglings with no respect for the landscape.

This is a must on a server with no whitelist. There will ALWAYS be young elves and orcs who visit our land for only a few days tearing down every tree they find, spraying the landscape with their cobblestone pillars wanting to peer over our walls, destroying all they find in a mad selfish rampage before they leave to never return.

The answer is to send out Rangers on horseback to scour the landscape, seek out damage and implement a regular schedule/roster of repair. Anything else is a band aid solution. Don't run from it my friend. Recognise the heart of the problem my brother then stand alongside me and defend your EXiSTiNG southern home in Daendroc. Stand and FiGHT!
 
I look forward to Attacking this.
~Ulmug Farnigh
Good luck.


Who ever said I was leaving Daendroc? :^)

Don't worry, we won't leave Daendroc. Its forests are our home, its inhabitants our friends. We simply cannot leave this ancient world. For then indeed all will be lost to the never ending chaos. Our grant palace in southern Daendroc will soon open its doors to receive our relatives from afar. Its halls will fill with the joy we bring to this world. Our strenght grows as time flows. The might if the Elves will be great once more.

Guys I got another design ready. Also for those who may have heared the rumors may see more than just a design.;)

The beauty of your palace is great I wont be attacking you out of respect for your skill
